Unfortunately no further details are available for this picture.

Again, no further details, though it appears to be a Southern Railway
Locomotive beside the group

Thanks
to a viewer of this website getting in touch having been loaned a report
entitled "Locomotive and
Carriage Institution of Great Britain - Educational Visit to the Belgian
National State Railways, Saturday 13th May 1933" produced by a Mr. Morgan
it would appear that this photo was taken on Monday 16th May 1933 when
the Institution visited Antwerp, staying in the
Hotel Centuary, described as "a most palatial hotel, with its luxurious
lounge, cabaret floor and bedrooms with private bathrooms and telephones". This
picture is marked on the back: "LÉON MERTENS PHOTOS INDUSTRIELLES et
REPORTAGES PHOTOGRAPHIQUES 22, Rue Delin, 22 ANVERS. This translates
to LEON MERTENS, INDUSTRIAL PHOTOGRAPHS and ILLUSTRATED REPORTS 22, Rue
Delin, 22 ANTWERP.

This
picture is taken on Platform 2 of Victoria Station. An advert on the
platform refers to the 1935 Brussels World Exhibition. The clock in
the background is showing the time as 4.15. So, presumably this is a
gathering at Victoria before catching a boat train for a late evening
crossing of the channel. |
